The Jets' First Training Camp THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 17, No. 3 (1995) THE JETS' FIRST TRAINING CAMP By John Hogrogian In 1963, the New York Jets arose from the ashes of their earlier incarnation, the New York Titans. The 1962 Titans were broke, disorganized, and regarded with contempt. After the end of the season, the team wound up in bankruptcy court in Manhattan. On March 28, 1963, the Gotham Football Club, Inc., purchased the franchise and its assets for one million dollars in a sale approved by the court and by the AFL. The Gotham Football Club was a corporation owned by five wealthy men: David A. (Sonny) Werblin, president of MCA-TV; Donald C. Lillis, partner in a stock brokerage firm; Townsend B. Martin, a banker; Philip H. Iselin, an officer of Monmouth Park racetrack in New Jersey; and Leon Hess, an oil executive. The new owners believed that they could nurse the Titans back to health. The New York City government had promised the Titans that they would be the autumn tenants of Shea Stadium, a new municipal ballpark under construction near the site of the upcoming 1964 World's Fair in Queens. The new stadium would be the first in the City to offer spacious parking lots for the prosperous and mobile post-World War II fan. The stadium was still being built in the winter of 1962-1963, and the City hoped to open it in the summer of 1963, in time for the Mets to finish their season there. The Titans could move in as soon as the baseball season ended. The new home would impart some sparkle to the Titans' shabby public image. On April 16, Sonny Werblin presided over a press conference at Toots Shor's restaurant in Manhattan. Werblin made two announcements. One was that the Titans had been renamed the Jets. The new team colors would be green and white, replacing the black and gold of the Titans. The second announcement was that the Jets had hired Weeb Ewbank as head coach and general manager. Ewbank had been fired by the Baltimore Colts on January 8 after nine years as head coach. He had taken that team to NFL championships in 1958 and 1959. Over the summer, Ewbank began to rebuild the franchise in major-league fashion, backed by the money of the new owners. He arranged to hold the team's pre-season camp at the Peekskill Military Academy in Peekskill, New York. Peekskill was and is a smaller city about forty miles north of mid-town New York City. It is located on the east bank of the Hudson River, with gorgeous river views. The Peekskill Military Academy was an old, selective military high school for boys, with ivy-covered buildings on a picturesque campus. The Academy was nearing the end of its long life and probably needed the money which the Jets would pay for rent in July and August. Ewbank also assembled a young and talented corps of assistant coaches. Clive Rush was 32 years old and coached the offensive backfield. He had been the head coach at the University of Toledo. Chuck Knox was 31 years old and took charge of the offensive line. He came from an assistant coaching position at Kentucky. Walt Michaels was 34 years old and had been an assistant coach for the Oakland Raiders in 1962. He coached the defensive line. He had played linebacker for the Green Bay Packers in 1951 and for the Cleveland Browns from 1952 through 1961, where he was on two NFL championship squads. Jack Donaldson was responsible for the defensive backfield. He had been an assistant to Rush at the University of Toledo. Helping out during training camp was George Sauer, the team's director of player personnel and one of the few holdovers from the 1962 management staff. Coming up with players was more of a challenge. The majority of the 1962 Titans would return to the 1963 Jets. Those players had compiled a 5-9 record under Titans coach Bulldog Tumer. Some key players would not return. Wide receiver Art Powell had played through 1962 without signing a contract, thus becoming a free agent. He signed with the Oakland Raiders. Tackle Alex Kroll retired to begin a successful career in advertising. Defensive back Wayne Fontes retired to begin a successful football coaching career. Little help could be expected from the rookies. The Jets signed none of the players drafted by the Titans at the end of 1962. The NFL signed most AFL draft choices anyway, but the chaotic management situation of the Titans scared even the adventurous away. On June 11, the Jets and Raiders did get to select some players from the other AFL teams in an equalization draft designed to shore up the league's two weakest 1 THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 17, No. 3 (1995) members. The Jets picked up tight end Gene Heeter, the eighth draft pick of the San Diego Chargers. Ewbank filled the rest of the roster with undrafted rookies and free agents. On June 22, the Jets held an open tryout session at Van Cortlandt Park, a large public park in the Bronx. Four hundred players showed up. Five of them were invited to training camp: Bob Lisa, a halfback from Jersey City who played college ball at St. Mary of the Plain; wide receiver John Wardlaw and tackle Jim Toon, two Brooklyn residents who had played at North Carolina A&T; and two non-college players, quarterback Julian Malinsky from East Orange, NJ, and halfback Gene Massa from Kingston, NY. These dreamers were on hand when training camp began. Week One (July 11-July 14) The New York Jets took the field for the first time on Thursday, July 11. The 61 players ran out onto the Academy's Depew Field clad in T-shirts and white football pants. Coach Ewbank began with basics, showing the offense how he wanted them to form a huddle. The team ran light drills for the benefit of newspaper photographers. The Jets made two announcements that day. One was that they had swapped guard Bob Mischak to the Raiders for guard Dan Ficca. The other was that the City would not complete the construction of Shea Stadium before the start of the 1964 baseball season. The Jets would play in the Polo Grounds in 1963. The team's business manager, John K. Free, called the delay "quite a shock and quite a disheartening thing." The Jets practiced again on Friday and Saturday, leaving Sunday for rest and written exams. The Jets apparently began training camp with a roster of 63 players. Newly acquired Dan Ficca would still be on active Army duty for a few weeks, and fullback Billy Mathis would be home with his ill father until next week. Four quarterbacks were in camp. Lee Grosscup and Johnny Green had both had good moments for the Titans, but both were also recovering from bad knee injuries. George Wooten was a rookie free agent from Elon College, and Julian Malinski had survived the Van Cortlandt Park try-out. In addition, veteran linebacker Jerry Fields got a chance in practice to play quarterback, his position at Ohio State. The experiment did not make it past the practice sessions. Three Titans returned at running back. Fullback Billy Mathis was the all-time Titans rushing leader, halfback Dick Christy had led the team in rushing in 1962, and Curly Johnson was a sub who did some of the punting. One veteran addition was Merrill Douglas, who had played with the Bears, Cowboys, and Eagles. The six rookie free agent runners were Frank Robotti of Boston College, Jim Christy of Furman, Bob Lisa and Gene Massa from the open try-out camp, Ernie Velten from Gettysburg, and George Spradlin of "None." Ewbank brought lots of wide receivers into camp. Don Maynard was already established as an AFL star. The only other veterans, Perry Richards and Bill Shockley, had far less impressive records. Glenfield Knight played at Shaw University, was on the Giants' taxi squad in 1961, and sat out 1962. The rookie free- agents were Calvin Bird from Kentucky, Tom Bolz from Detroit, Norm Butz of Baltimore, John Wardlaw of North Carolina A&T and Van Cortlandt Park, and non-college player Ed Buettner. Only three tight ends were in camp: Titans veterans Thurlow Cooper and Karl Kaimer, and equalization-draft plum Gene Heeter. At offensive tackle, only Fran Morelli returned from the team that finished 1962. Jack Klotz had started 1962 with the Titans, had gone to San Diego early in that season, and now retumed to the Jets. Bruce Tarbox had played with the Los Angeles Rams in 1961. The rookie free agents were Clarence Gadsden of Maryland State, Ray Lardani of Miami, and Jeff Slabaugh of West Chester State. Eight guards were in camp. Sid Fournet and Roger Ellis returned from last year. John McMullen had played for the Titans in 1960 and 1961 before getting cut in 1962. Dan Ficca was en route from Oakland and the Army. Bill Lopasky had played for the '49ers in 1961, while Bob Butler had played for the Eagles in 1962. The only rookie free agent was Charles Stitch of Louisville. Veteran Mike Hudock was the only full- time center in camp. The Jets had only eight defensive linemen in camp. Laveme Torczon, Bob Watters, Dick Guesman, and George Strugar returned from last year's Titans. Will Renfro had played for the Redskins, Steelers, and Eagles from 1957 through 1961. John Kapele had played for the Steelers and Eagles between 1960 and 1962.

  • James Lofton
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 25, No. 4 (2003) James Lofton Wide receiver James Lofton was the No. 1 draft pick of the Green Bay Packers in 1978. An Academic All-America choice from Stanford, he was also an accomplished track performer and won the NCAA long jump title as a senior. Lofton's speed and "soft hands" made him an immediate deep-threat receiver from the moment he entered the pros. It was something he would remain throughout his long career with Green Bay, the Los Angeles Raiders, Buffalo Bills, Los Angeles Rams, and the Philadelphia Eagles. In 16 seasons, Lofton caught 764 passes for 14,004 yards - an average of 18.3 yards per catch. Nine times he recorded more than 50 catches in a season. His 14,004 career-reception yardage mark was an NFL best at the time of his retirement, while his 43 games with 100 or more yards receiving ranked third. Extremely durable, Lofton was the first NFL player to score a touchdown in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. Many of his 75 touchdown receptions came on long passes when he simply outran the opposition. During his nine seasons in Green Bay, Lofton was selected to play in seven Pro Bowls. He led the Packers in receptions each year except one (1979). Five of those years he gained more than 1,000 receiving yards. He was only the fifth player in NFL history to do so, joining the likes of Lance Alworth, Steve Largent, Don Maynard, and Art Powell. In 1987, Lofton was traded to the Raiders, and two years later joined the Bills.

  • PRO FOOTBALL HALL of FAME TEACHER ACTIVITY GUIDE 2020-2021 Edition
    PRO FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME TEACHER ACTIVITY GUIDE 2020-2021 EDITIOn Quarterback Joe Namath - Hall of fame class of 1985 nEW YORK JETS Team History The history of the New York franchise in the American Football League is the story of two distinct organizations, the Titans and the Jets. Interlocking the two in continuity is the player personnel which went with the franchise in the ownership change from Harry Wismer to a five-man group headed by David “Sonny” Werblin in February 1963. The three-year reign of Wismer, who was granted a charter AFL franchise in 1959, was fraught with controversy. The on-the-field happenings of the Titans were often overlooked, even in victory, as Wismer moved from feud to feud with the thoughtlessness of one playing Russian roulette with all chambers loaded. In spite of it all, the Titans had reasonable success on the field but they were a box office disaster. Werblin’s group purchased the bankrupt franchise for $1,000,000, changed the team name to Jets and hired Weeb Ewbank as head coach. In 1964, the Jets moved from the antiquated Polo Grounds to newly- constructed Shea Stadium, where the Jets set an AFL attendance mark of 45,665 in the season opener against the Denver Broncos. Ewbank, who had enjoyed championship success with the Baltimore Colts in the 1950s, patiently began a building program that received a major transfusion on January 2, 1965 when Werblin signed Alabama quarterback Joe Namath to a rumored $400,000 contract. The signing of the highly-regarded Namath proved to be a major factor in the eventual end of the AFL-NFL pro football war of the 1960s.

  • An Aw Shucks Guy: Billy Shaw
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 21, No. 4 (1999) An Aw Shucks Guy Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 1999 By Joe Horrigan Guard Billy Shaw, once describcd as an "aw shucks sort of guy from Mississippi,” makes perfect strangers feel instantly comfortable with his polite disposition and broad smile. His friendly demeanor makes it difficult to believe that this gentle giant was one of pro football’s toughest competitors. However, when the game whistle blew and the ball was snapped, Shaw's "Mr. Nice Guy" nature metamorphosed to an aggressive, focused lineman, with one thing on his mind, winning football games. "When you played against Billy," remembers Kansas City Chiefs Hall of Fame linebacker, Bobby Bell, "you brought your lunch. He played every down to the maximum. He was relentless." A 6-2, 258-pound All-America lineman out of Georgia Tech, Shaw was the second-round pick of the Buffalo Bills in the 1961 American Football League draft and a fourteenth-round pick of the Dallas Cowboys of the then-rival National Football League. It wasn't that the Cowboys failed to recognize Shaw’s potential when they selected him in the late round. It was simply a calculated risk on their part. "I had already signed with Buftalo when the National Football League held their draft," Shaw explained. "In those days, people didn't know if the AFL would last the year, and I guess the Cowboys wanted to be able to claim me." Since the AFL did survive, the Cowboys never got their chance to claim the two-way Georgia Tech star, whose steadying influence on the Bills led the team to consecutive AFL titles in 1964 and 1965.
